The C6 Z06 was totally configured for Nurburg.
Jan Magnussen, the test driver and #64 C6R driver disagrees. :biggrin
On the notorious C6 Z flying through the air photo:
"The photo is taken at Flugplatz. I´m going 240-250 km/h at full throttle in 4th gear and the car is actually jumping twice: After the first jump it lands so hard that it takes off again, as you can see in the second picture. As it lands the second time I have to take a sharp right immediately after.
The car is a standard car with street setup - had it been my racer it would hardly have left the tarmac. At NBR the street car reaches 295 km/h on the long straight in 5th gear (6th gear is an overgear for saving gasoline). At NBR there are no run-off areas like other tracks,. You simply have to stay on the track. When you are halfway around the 20 km, you think it´s a good thing there are only half as many places left you risk running off the track" Jan says.
"The street Corvette has virtually no grip compared to my race car which has a large rear spoiler. But it does have almost as many BHPs as my Le Mans racer and is almost as fast. The rev limiter sets in at 7000 rpms, and it does have more than 500 BHPs. It´s fast."
Also, Dave Hill has repeatedly told gatherings that simply suspension adjustments made be made by the driver to the stock suspension. He said the Ring car was a totally stock car, so if anything was changed, that would have been it.
